THE TWO TEMPERAMENTS.
Differences Between the Partisan of til
North and of the South.

Differences Between the Partisan of the
North and of the South.
The Partisan of the south is remark
able for an excessive love of self adver-
tisement. He must be talked about; he
likes to be seen, to shine, to write letters
to the newspapers and to inform the pub
lie of everything he is thinking, planning,
preparing, eating, drinking. He seeks
to occupy attention even in the merest
trifies. and if he refuses an invitation to
dinner he will contrive to let all the
world into the secret. Everybody's
friend, all his equals are affectionately
and Familiarity addressed, and ''old fel-
lowed by him in the second person
singular and he shakes hands with every
Partisan notability who will let him.
Frequently he has managed to lose the
accent he brought with him from
Provence or Toulouse, but you are pretty
sure to find it again i'll his gesticulatiOns
and gait.
The man of the north, on the other
hand, aims at distinction and correctness
of bearing. He is Prig, and he poses.
Generally affected, he cndeavOrs to APP
pear modest with his interiors and scOrn-
full with his superiors- In society he
keeps on the alert, refuses to talk and
seems to avoid self assertion. The man of
the south is somewhat trifier; but,
whether it be from ostentation or tenn
permanent, he is generous, cares not for
money grubbing, and for the most part
does some good about him. If Inc have
wit he scatters lavishly; if he have money
he spends royalty. The northerner, on
the other hand, is always a man of bust
ness, even when he is an artist or a man
of letters. He reckons everything. a
man of wealth, and he will scarcely be
free from avarice; wit, and he will sell
his jokes.
When the meridional comes up to Paris
he does not lose his love for his native
place, but is clannish and helps his own
folk, and at one period France was in the
hands of the Toulousains. The men of
the south help and admire each other and
grow elo, ucnt over each others worth
and talents, and hold banquets, at which
they mesl at fixed periods to thee and
thou one mother in the native dialect
The men of the north are more selfish.
They do not know one another. When
once the church steenle is abandoned
under whose shadow they Were born
they mix with the people about them and
with whom they assimilate.-Le Figaro.

which Lead to Perdition.

I do not believe in bringing up the
young To know life, rs it is said. Ishould
just as soon think of bringing up child
by cutting some of the cords of his body
and lacerating his nerves and soaring
and tattooing him and making an Indian
of him outright as am element of beauty
as l should thmk of developing his man
hood by bringing him up to see ife-to
see its abominabie lusts, to see its hideous
incarnations of wit, tor see its Internal
wickedness, to see its extravagant and
degrading scenes, to see its miserable car
nalities, To see its imaginations set on fire
of hell. to see all those temptations and
decisions which lead TO perdition. No
body gets over the sight of these things.
They who see them always carry scars.
They are burned. And though they live,
they live as men that have been burned.
The scar remains. Henry Ward Beecher

Clouds Which Produce Rain.

a communication TO the London Mete-
geological society by Capt. Toynbee
states as his conclusion that clouds of
not less than 1000 feet in thickness are
seldom accompanied by rain, on, if they
are, it is very gentle, consisting of
minute drops: with a thickness of be-
tween 1900 and 1900 feet, the size of
the drops is moderate: with increasing
thickness of the clouds comes an in
creasing size of the drops. and ut the
same time the degree of temperature be-
comes lowered. When the thickness

Human Nature at the Bar.

Behind the bar is the point from which
man might study human nature. You
can see q man come in and go through q
dozen different moods before he goes out.
You can tell good fellow by the way. he
takes his drink. He first takes it quickly,
but before he does he always looks around
to see If there isn't some one he can get to
join him. The mean man is the fellow
who sneaks in and drinks and lays down
his fifteen cents and walks out, as though
he is afraid of being surprised into conviv-
iality. The southern or western man step
ping into bar puts his hand down in his
pocket and puts his money on the board
before he asks for his drink. The New
Englander pays after the drink is over.
Southern and western people are more
graceful drinkers than others. They
bring the glass to the lips with graceful
curve, empty it ea4a and then take it
down slowly. There is no boiling. Some
how or another a man who has been long
behind the bar can tell o good man before
he says word, just by the expression Of
his face as he steps to the counter, and the
way he calls for his drink. A barkeeper
who didn't know the nature Of his Gus
toners could not hold his place long, for
he'd be unsociable for men inclined that
way, "freshn when he ought to keep in
the background, rough when he ought TO
be mild, etc, and the result would be he
would make enemies, and the house would
lose all of its Democrat.

Good Advice for Young Men.

And as for the men we respect, let them
give up part Of the time they spend in
money making to put on the polish that
may seem a supcrfuity, but which women
love, nevertheless, as they love all super
fiuities? A few trifling airs and graces, a
suavity of speech, neatly turned compli-
ment, profound bow-these are baga-
telles, it is true, but in their way they
work wonders and open highway to the
hearts of the simpler and weaker sex that
has before been closed by gates of ada
mant. They are easily picked up in youth,
but the old tongue trips awkwardly over
honeyed words and phrases, and the stiff
old back at 40 odd can never achieve a
bow which is much better than none at
oil. Even the men of the FaubOurg st.
Germain-every city has its Faubourg ST.
Germain-think better of one for possess
ing these social embellishments, and there
is not in the world ta1isman of such pO-
tent magic as the nameless and irresistible
spell of a-eharming manner. It ought to
be innate, of course, but it can be in great
measure acquired.
The plodders upon whom Dame Fortune
is turning dawning smile may pause
awhile on the way The smile and the
good luck are sure to come, the brighter
and better for delay, and the young man
who looks forward to one day being man

Hevspapers I'm the National Library,

Some of these old American newspapers
have been of great value to the govern
ment, and the full setof The Charleston
Courier covering the period of the late
civil war has saved 1t hundreds of thou
SANDS of dollars Fhe set of files was
bought by the government at the request
of the southern claims commission, who
wanted the daily papers Of the war period.
The man holding the papers would only
sell the whole file from the beginning
away back in 1900, and the government
paid $5, 600 for It. Whenever q claim for
damages on the ground of loyalty and con-
sequent loss of property was set up by any
of the citizens of Charleston or South
Carolina these papers were referred to,
and in many cases conclusive proof was
found in them that the claimants had
been Confederates and that they had taken
part z the Confederate meetings during
the war This barred them from receiv-
ing anything from the government, and
the buying Of the papers was very prof
table investment. G. Carpenter

THE GRASS WORLD.
oh, life is rife In the heart of the year
When midsummer suns sail high;

Oh, life Is rife In the heart of the year
When midsummer suns sail high;
And under the shadow of spike and spear,
In the depth Of the daisy sky,
There's life unknown to the careless glance;
And under the stillness-an airy prance,
And slender, jointed things astir,
And goSsamer wings In q sunny whir-
And world of work and dance.
Soft In its throbbing. the conscious green
Demurely answers the breeze;
While down in its tangle, in riotous sheen,
The hoppers are bending their knees:
And only beetle or numbering ant,
As he pulls . feathery spray aslant-
Or the sudden dip of a foraslng bird,
With its vibrAnt trail OF the clover stirred,
Discovers the secret haunt.
All, the grass world dies in the autumn days,
When, studded with sheaf and stack,
The fields lie browning in sulleu haze,
And creak in the farmers track.
flushed is the tumult the daisies knew,
The hidden sport of the supple crew;
And lonely and dazed in the glare of day,
Tho stiff kneed hoppers refuse to play
In the stubblo that mocks the blue
For oil things feel that the time is drcar
When life runs low in the heart of the year.

LONG AND SHORT HAUL.
IOWA RAlLWA COMMISSIONERS MAKE
A DECISION.

The First One In the State Under the Inter
State Commerce Law-The Chicago, Bur
linSton S Quincy Road Must Revise Rates
OH Coal shipments - Commissioners
Schoonmaker Talks.
Dies MONIES, Iowa, May 9.-The railroad
commissioners in the case of the complaint OF
Governor I4arrabee against the Chicago, Bur
lington & Quincy railroad, gave its decis-
ion Saturday morning. They say the COM
plant makes it their duty to determine
whether or not the railroad company had
charged an unreasonable rate. The governor
had arraigned and put them on trial oefore
the bar of public opinion, for the manner IN
which they had performed their duties, and
had given them notice that unless they re-
deemed themselves the commission will have
to go" Lengthy quotations are made from
the governors criticism of prior action OF
the board and for their alleged neglect OF
duty.
They further say that in February last they
held in this same case that the shipment OF
coal from Cleveland on the 20 road to
Glenwood, 136 miles, and to Council Bluffs,
151 miles. were under like conditions and cir
cumstances, except distance; that $3.50 per
the longer distance, was excessive and unjust
discrimination, and they recommended re-
vision of the tariff rates to conform to tho
provisions Of the interstate commerce law.
The road advances its Council Bluffs rate to
$l9S. A rehearing was had, and the COM
mission after reviewing the arguments and a
careful study of rates on coal roads, find a
general concession is made at competing
points
From all sources of information possible,
they decide that for class A roads proper
terminal charge is 50 cents ton; that an ad-
ditional reasonable rate, up TO 100 miles dis
lance, should be mills per ton per mile; to
200 miles, mills; to 800 miles, 8 mills; to 400
miles, mills; to 500 miles, mills per ton
The reasonable rate ON coal from Cleveland
to Glenwood would be 81. A.
The decision of the commission is unani-
nous. Spencer Smith makes an addenda de
claring he has not regarded the criticisms by
the governor of the commission pertinent
to the case, and it should not be made part
of the statement of the case This is the first
decision of long and short haul rates in this

Preaching by Signs.

The Episcopal service is always impress
sive. and when it has the mantle Of per-
feet silence thrown about it is particularly
SO. There are about fifty deaf mutes in
Chicago, who worship once month in
St. james church, Cass and Huron
streets. The Rev. A. w. Mann, himself
q deaf mute, who has been nearly twelve
years in the pulpit, is the rector, his field
embracing the entire country bounded by
the Alleghanies on the east, the Ohio river
on the south and Kansas on the west. Of
the 36, 900 deaf mutes in the United States,
5000 are communicates in the various
dioceses which the Rev. DR.. Mann minis
tiers to.
'Choose ye this day whom We will
serve" was DIR. Mann's text. There was
prayer-silent prayer-offered by the fin
gers, while the piano in the room below
peeled forth q Sabbath school melody
joined by hundred voices, but the noise
did not disturb the silent worshipers.
Then the ltany was repeated, the congre-
cation responding in pantomime concert
no choir, no organ, no music to stir the
soul to religious thoughts. And then,
when the rector had fairly launched out
in his sermon and from appearances was
growing eloquent, the wife of DIR. Vibbert
came into the room with her large Bible
class of young ladies, and the noise which
usually attends such exercises was begun,
but the discourse went on INCREASINGLY,
the fingers Of the Rev. DR.. Mann jerking
and jumping and clutching and gesticu-
lating with almost lightning rapidity. His
auditors watched their movements with
the most intense interest, their faces
sometimes clouded as il listening to the
description of some horrible thing, and
then again an expression of joy would
seem to follow some dexterous movement
of the silent preacher. When he had de-
Hvered himself of some eloquent peroration
the rector would stop moment, presum-
ably giving his observers time to compre-
bend, and then he would beat the palm
of his left hand with the clinched fist of
the right several times, and this he would
follow by several reflective mods Of the
head, as if signifying eyes, yes; that is
it," or 'that is true. Chicago News.

The interest shUwIlin the subject there is

~. Counting the Trade Dollars.
u Treasury clerks who count the trade
dollars have to wear buckskin gloves or
get sore fingers. Any sore spot on the
finger Is soon poisoned by contact with
the metal. People who sigh to count
dollars should bear this IN mind.
